Seven Ways Of Getting Married.

There are seven separate and distinc
ways in which the nuptial knot may b,
tied, the attending expenses of the diff
ferent modes varying from 81 to 81, 600
The least expensive, and the one seldom
adopted, except in cases of elopemen,,
is that afforded by the Justices Office.
There o couple can be firmly unitedin
the space of a minute for q small sum.
It is customary for q groom to dress as
he may please when the marriage IS to
be performed by a Justice, and a d.ess-
suit would be sadly out of place il the
musty law Office. The one greet adj
vantage of the Justice-shop marriage is
its cheapness. As some people object
to being married by o Justiceof the
Peace, %preferring the sanctioned the
Church in addition to that of the law,
the young people may visit a parsonage
instead of a Justices office With the
same preparation. The ceremony may
be fully as informal when performed at
the minister's home, the only difference
being that not less than So, and, better
still, SIS or SO should be paid for the
service, although there is no fixed sum
charged. The most popular ceremony
among people who do not class them.
selves as in Society" and also among
many who do, is a quiet home wedding,
where the bride is attired in a suit Of
plain white or travelling dress. and the
groom in a plain black or brown bust
ness suit. where only q few friends and
relatives are present. The affair is in
formal, perhaps q modest supper or
lunch being served after the ceremony
is performed, and the entire expense to
the groom being covered by 500, or
even less. This is the most popular
wedding ceremony. and this is the way
in which fully 25 per cent. of young
people are married. Next in pint of
favor and inexpensiveness is the in
formal church wedding, being SIMILAR
in all things except that the service is
performed within the portals OF the
church. If the affair is strictly private
the bride and groom may be un,up.
ported, or have bridesmaids and
groomsmen, as they please. In the
latter "a full-dress suits should b,
worn, increasing the expense. Tn.
"full-dress wedding" as it may b.
called when the ceremony is performed
at home, is next in favor. Elaborat,
tr%ousseau, full-dress suits, bridesmaid
and groomsmen, flowers in abundance
and a host of invited guests are the re
quisite, followed by q reception, feas
or lunch, as the contracting parties ma.
desire. The seventh and last, th,
most popular, is the full-dress affai
performed in church. Among people
who desire to create O stir in societ,
this is the favoritc. It is expensive

Wells in India.

Wells are naturally greatly priced
in hot, arid parts OF India, and many
Hindus earn great renown by making
them where they + much needed.
Some religious people seek for merit i'll
the construction of large wells in public
thoroughfares and other places for the
purpose of supplying travellers with
water. Very often people use them for
irrigating their fields. A large well,
built Of strong masonry with a circular
smooth white platform round it for
people to sit on when they draw or
drink water, costs from 1000 to 5000
rupees. Even the wants of the brute
creation are not overlooked by the
Hindus. They make reservoirs of
strong masonry, about five or six yards
long and a yard wide, adjoining a we'll,
and in the hot season these are always
kept filled with water. Returning from
pasture or from the fields in the fore
noon for repose, and retiring at dusk
for the night, whole droyes of cows,
b%ullocks, bufialoes, and goats Stake
their thirst here. Land owners and
wealthy men vie with each other in con-

n princes sometimes initiate the ex-
ample Of their opulent subjects. The
average cost of an ordinary we'll has
been estimated to be about 300 OF 400
rupees. OF our it varies not only
according to the depth of water and
Kind OF soil, but also to the kind OF
labor employed. Some peasants, who,
with members of their own families,
make wells themselves, have been
known to construct them, especially
where the water is near the surface, at
a trltling cost Of 100 rupees each.
Nevertheless, even i'll those parts of the
country where the cost is very moder-
ate, the wells are insufficient. Wells

Accidental Paintings.

The very word toy implies something
that is intended to amuse. Very many
of the most elaborate and costly toys
only do this for q short time, as long as
they are new, while some article that
by accident the child has become pos
sessed Of is q daily source of pleasure.
AS I write my little girl of 2 sits on
the floor with a button-hook in her
hand trying to button and unbutton
her little boots. She is not playing,
rather she is working; but she is inter-
ested in what she is doing, her atten-
ton is concentrated upon it and she is
happy. We do not give her the ham
mer and looking-glass, but some
equally queer articles. We let her have
q Dover egg-beater.
Suppose she should break .it?"
What if she does? 1t costs much less
than ordinary toys, and serves her
vastly better. When she had learned
to put the end of it in a little dish and
turn the wheel-"just as mamma does"
she wa happy, and her pleasure in her
new plaything lasted for weeks. She
would not hurt herself seriously with
it, and finding that their was n way
in which it acted and made a noise she
did not throw it about and use it as a
hammer, but used it properly, came to
have a high regard, and [ have no
doubt a deep respect, for it. Another
plaything is a clean lamp burner with q
long piece of wick knotted at the end
so that it cannot fall out, or with the
ends sewed together: the child can turn
the thumbscrew and make the wick
move, and thus find much pleasure

ROYAL Marriages.
Tj'Hreic,

Persons who are interested III the
royal family of Great Britain will re-
eret to hear that the marriage of the
Princess Beatrice does not promise to
be as happy as might be wished. While
IL is understood that she is likely to
give proof this winter that she loves
her lord, the London newspapers. which
make o specially Of reporting the feel
ings of the royal family and the
nobility, state positively that she is in
low spirits, and in such condition that
gossips declare she is disappointed in
her marriage. Marriage is q lottery,
in royal rs in other circles. The fair
Beatrice got for her lot the handsomest
man in Europe. We know on this con-
tinent that the handsomest man in
society is apt to prove a poor matri-
monial bargain. Those of us who have
both daughters and experience are con
tent with the second or third hand
soonest man. and those Of us who have
more than once gone through the mill
are content to dispense with good looks
altogether if we al get for our dangh-
ter a man who is honest and well-be-
haved and able to earn bis living. Male
beauty is even shallower than the skin
deep beauty of women.
The Queen had five daughters. OF
these two proved perfect women, who
would have been an honor to their sex
if they had been born in a lowly
station. Perhaps the brightest and
bravest woman in Europe to-day is
Victoria, Grown Princess Of Germany.
She is the one redeeming spot in the
dull German court; a woman gifted
with all good gifts, and SO sweet that
even those who cannot appreciate her
adore her in silence. Her sister Alice,
the ill-fated wife of the Prince of Hesse,
was so tender o daughter. so true a
wife, so devoted a mother, that her
memoirs are given by American
mothers to their daughters as the record
of a life which good women should
strive to emulate.
OF the wife OF Prince Christian
nothing is known. Louise, Princess of
Lorne, did not convince the Canadians
that she was as loyal to her husband as
the conjugal law requires. She may
be o good wife, but European gossip
describes her as too constantly sepa-
rated from her husband to fulfill strict
matrimonial obligation. The law says
that the wife shall cleave unto her hus-
band. She cannot we'll cleave if he is
at Edmonton while she remains at
Ware. The Queen says in her memoirs
that her marriage was a love match,
dating from a boy and girl affection.
| AS o rule the nursery is a bad cradle
for conjugal love. Both men and wo-
men tire of nursery fare. Now Princess
Beatrice is said to have drawn a blank
in the matrimonial lottery. If so,
kindly people will be sorry. She has
been q gentle daughter, tenderly af.
fectionate to q morose old mother.
She was fairly entitled to a good hus
band.-S0n Francisco Chronicle.

Hats in Old Times.

The matters have a tradition that the
art of felting originated with st. Glenn
ent, the fourth bishop of Rome. I'm
der this impression, in Catholic coun-
tries, they adopt him as their patron
saint, and hold an annual festival in his
honor. The principle of telling is said
to have been suggested to him, by the
following circumstances: while fleeing
from his prosecutors, his feet became
blistered, and to obtain relief, he placed
wool between them and his sandals.
On continuing his journey, the wool,
by the pe1spiration motion and press
r Of the feet, assumed a compact
form. Notwithstanding this tradition.
it appears that felt hats were invented
at Paris, by q Swiss, about the COM
mencement of the fifteenth century
but they we're not generally known,
until Charles the Seventh made his
triumphal entry into Rouen, in the year
1892; when he astonished the people,
by wearing a hat, lined with red silk,
and surmounted with a plume of feath-
ers.
When some of the clergy first adopted
this article of dress, it was considered
an u~nwarrantable indulgence; councils
were held, and regulations published.
%forbidding any priest, or monk, to ap-
pear abroad, wearing q hat; and en-
joining them to keep to the use of
chaperons, or hoods, made of black
cloth, with decent coronets; if they
we're poor, they were at least to have
comets fastened to their hats, upon
penalty of suspension and excommuni-
cation. At length, however, the Pope
permitted the cardinals to wear hats
but enjoined them to wear those OF O
red color, at public ceremonials, in to-
ken that they were ready to spill their
blood for their religion.
In England, considerable opposition
was made to the use of the hat. By a
statue, enacted in the thirteenth year
of the reign of Elizabeth, every person
between certain ages was obliged, on
Sundays and holidays, to wear wooden
cap, under penalty of three shillings
and four-pence for every days neglect.
The manufacture of hats was COM
menced, in England, in the time of
Henry the Eighth, by Dutchmen and
Spaniards.

those States they will have thirty
seven Senators and the Republi
cans will have thirty-nine, provid
oil Riddleberger acts with them,

Twenty-Five Senators were to be

al contests have been settled, ex-
eept those of Indiana and New
Jersey, and it is impossible to say
With any certainty when they will
be disposed Of finally. The
chances are that if Democrats are
chosen their Eats will be contest
